- Articles and reports: 91F0015M2020002Description:
This document describes the production of demographic estimates for the second quarter of 2020 in the context of COVID-19. Limits to the usual approaches and alternate strategies that were considered are presented for each demographic component. When adjustments to the usual methodology were made, they are summarized in a succinct manner. A broad overview of potential adjustments for future releases of demographic estimates is also provided.

Release date: 2020-06-18 - 3. Recent changes in demographic trends in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-006-X201500114240Description:
Canada’s population growth masks some very different trends from one region to another. Using various data sources, including Statistics Canada’s most recent projections on population and diversity, this article provides a general overview of these trends and discusses how recent demographic changes could impact the age structure, diversity and population share of the various regions of Canada over the next decades.
Release date: 2015-10-27 - Articles and reports: 91-209-X201100111508Description: This article examines the estimated population count and growth for Canada, the provinces and territories as of January 1, 2011 and analyzes the demographic components that account for this growth. The total, natural and migratory population growth rates are examined from 1972 to 2010, followed by an in-depth study of the growth rate for the past year (2009 to 2010) at the provincial level and territorial level.Release date: 2011-07-20
- 5. Population growth: Subprovincial, 2010 ArchivedArticles and reports: 91-209-X201100111510Description: This article examines population growth at the subprovincial level. There was much variation in population growth at the subprovincial level between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010 with some areas growing more rapidly than others. Higher growth in some census divisions can be attributed to one or more factors such as urban sprawl around large metropolitan areas, net intraprovincial migration as well as natural increase. The article examines the high population growth in Saskatchewan's census metropolitan areas, as well as the settlement pattern of international migrants.Release date: 2011-07-20
- Articles and reports: 91-209-X201100111511Geography: Canada, Province or territoryDescription:
This article examines the age and sex structure within Canada's provinces and territories as of July 1st, 2010. As population aging is observed, a few themes are discussed: the senior population continues to grow, the population of older working-age increases and the share of children decreases. The author also examines the provincial and territorial variations of aging within Canada.
Release date: 2011-07-20 - 7. Age and sex structure: Sub-provincial, 2010 ArchivedArticles and reports: 91-209-X201100111512Geography: CanadaDescription: This article on the age and sex structure of the different regions of Canada, (subprovincial level) examines the indicators of median age- the age at which half the population is older and half is younger- as well as the distribution of the population at particular age groups, especially seniors aged 65 years and over and children aged 14 years and under. It also includes a section on aging in census metropolitan areas, which occurs more slowly than the rest of Canada.Release date: 2011-07-20
- 8. Research on Modifications to the Method of Preliminary Estimates of Interprovincial Migration ArchivedArticles and reports: 91F0015M2005007Geography: CanadaDescription:
The Population Estimates Program at Statistics Canada is using internal migration estimates derived from administrative sources of data. There are two versions of migration estimates currently available, preliminary (P), based on Child Tax Credit information and final (F), produced using information from income tax reports. For some reference dates they could be significantly different. This paper summarises the research undertaken in Demography Division to modify the current method for preliminary estimates in order to decrease those differences. After a brief analysis of the differences, six methods are tested: 1) regression of out-migration; 2) regression of in- and out-migration separately; 3) regression of net migration; 4) the exponentially weighted moving average; 5) the U.S. Bureau of Census approach; and 6) method of using the first difference regression. It seems that the methods in which final and preliminary migration data are combined to estimate preliminary net migration (Method 3) are the best approach to improve convergence between preliminary and final estimates of internal migration for the Population Estimation Program. This approach allows for "smoothing" of some erratic patterns displayed by the former method while preserving CTB data's ability to capture current shifts in migration patterns.

The paper assesses and compares new and old methodologies for official estimates of migration within and among provinces and territories for the period 1996/97 to 2000/01.
Release date: 2004-06-17 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X19950011662Geography: CanadaDescription:
Changes in Statistics Canada's annual population estimates, introduced in 1993, have an impact on a wide range of social, economic and demographic indicators. Any indicator that relies on population estimates will be affected by the new figures. This article describes the adjustment and examines its impact on health and vital statistics rates. With rare exceptions, all rates decrease as the denominators are adjusted upward. For example, accident rates, suicide rates, and age-specific fertility rates based on the adjustment population are lower than those previously calculated. The extent of the adjustment, however, depends on the geographic and demographic characteristics of the population at risk. Analysts whose work concentrates on special subgroups for whom the adjustment is particularly great (such as young adult men) may wish to pay closer attention to the new population figures. Although the new rates are lower than before, underlying trends and patterns over time or across subcategories are quite similar. The revised series incorporates estimates of net census undercoverage, and for the first time, includes non-permanent residents. In 1991, net census undercoverage and non-permanent residents together amounted to about one million persons, or 3.6% of the revised Canadian population of 28,120,100.
